It seems MSNBC's anti-Trump stance has sharply amplified in last 24 hours or so since the alleged "$#@!hole" comments were attributed to him. Current POTUS can be criticized for various things (like his ties to controveresial Kushner/zionist entities dealings and conflicts of interest) but what did MSNBC host aimed to achieve by dredging up such personal disparaging "facts" about his forefathers?
Heard MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnel yesterday claim that "racist" Trump came from "$#@!hole", his father was arrested at KKK meeting in NY and that Trump & his father practised racist rental policies in their realestate business. His guest NYT's Kristoff claimed that Trump's grandfather had started hotel slash brothel business because he lacked education, came from "$#@!hole" and various comments along same line in a continuous stream of attacks by O'Donnel and his guests. If MSNBC posted this video on their site, could create major controversy in already polarized atmosphere created by Michael Wolff's controversial book in recent days.

That video is not on youtube yet, MSNBC has another video up with similar "racist Trump" theme.

Is Mr. Trump Nuts?

Is Donald Trump mentally fit to be president of the United States? It’s an understandable question, and it’s also beside the point.
Understandable because Mr. Trump’s behavior in office — impulsive, erratic, dishonest, childish, crude — is so alarming, and so far from what Americans expect in their chief executive, that it cries out for a deeper explanation.

If Trump-Kushner team or biggest Trump donor / respected zionist Sheldon Adelson had hoped that media will be more supportive of him after his Israel-Netanyahu pivot/Jerusalem embassy move/isolating Palestinians, they may have been too optimnistic going by news headlines of last few days (with the exception perhaps of National Enquirer).

A lawyer for President Trump reportedly arranged a six-figure payment to a former adult-film star to keep her from discussing a sexual encounter with Trump, according to a new report Friday.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Michael Cohen, an attorney for the Trump Organization at the time and now Trump’s personal lawyer, arranged for Stephanie Clifford, known in the industry as Stormy Daniels, to receive $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement one month before the 2016 presidential election.
Clifford has privately told sources interviewed by the Journal that she and Trump had a consensual sexual encounter in 2006, the year after he and Melania Trump were married. Clifford was 27 years old at the time of the alleged encounter in Lake Tahoe.

Michael Steele confirmed that he does believe the president is racist.

The same Michael Steele that was against Ron Paul after the infamous Guiliani exchange? The same Michael Steele that condemned Rand Paul's position on civil rights?

Golly - it's almost like we could see this coming.

* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.

* No Amnesty - The Obama Administration’s endorsement of so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.

* Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.

* End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.

Another gem from O'Donnel near the end goes something like "Obama's father came from Kenya Africa and went back and luckily for United States, he left his son here".. not exact same words.
He also alleges that Trump agrees with the last speaker in the room as he agreed with Dem Senator Dianne Feinstein on DACA.
